RESUMO
Os autores apresentam um caso de obstruçäo jejunal, causada por heterotopia de mucosa gástrica, diagnosticada através do estudo anatomopatológico, em cortes teciduais processados para análise de rotina em microscopia óptica. Além disso, enfatizam, as teorias usadas para explicar sua gênese; e a incidência no jejuno.

The periodontal condition of patients with insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus was evaluated in terms of plaque, gingival indices, pocket depth, and alveolar bone loss. Thirty male and female diabetic patients aged 5 to 18 years were compared with 30 non-diabetic subjects and correlated with sex and age. Statistical analyses of the data showed that the mean plaque index was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) among the diabetic patients (1.23) than among the control subjects (0.81). The plaque index was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) among diabetic females (1.34) than among diabetic males. (1.10), whereas no sex differences were observed in the control group. The arithmetic means obtained for gingival index were statistically higher (P less than 0.01) for the diabetics (0.58) when compared with the controls (0.15), but no significant differences were obtained when the values were correlated with sex and age. Pocket depth did not differ statistically between groups. When pocket depth was correlated with sex, a statiscally significant difference (P less than 0.05) was observed only for the palatal region, with a depth of 2.1 mm in female patients and 1.92 mm in male patients. When pocket depth was correlated with age, a positive correlation (P less than 0.01) was detected in the diabetic group for all regions investigated, whereas the correlation was not significant in the control group. Mean alveolar bone loss was higher in the anterior upper (1.94 mm) and anterior lower (1.87 mm) regions of the diabetic group when compared to the controls (1.52 and 1.37 mm respectively), the difference being significant at the 5 percent level of probability
